My 2005 Bullet 500ES is on a steady diet of ethanol-free 89 octane that I haul home from about a half hour away. To that I add just a dash of Marvel Mystery Oil--maybe an ounce a tankful. All my outboards, small engine gardening stuff, generators, and the Amphicar get the same "real gas" brew, but with a dash of Sta-Bil 360 Marine fuel stabilizer as well, since they tend to keep a belly full of gas longer.
Every time I go on one of those fuel runs down to Stafford, Virginia, I make sure and let my Congressman and both Senators know what an unnecessary pain in ass it was. There is no debate that ethanol is harmful spew that'll ruin my property, and I resent the fact that I have to go so far out of my way to avoid it. Why not write YOUR congresschumps too? Otherwise, you've little right to bitch about the shit fuel being foisted on you just because every Presidential candidate since maybe Grover Cleveland needed the Iowa Caucuses to get forward momentum and took the damned
Ethanol Pledge...
